I don't understand

I don't understand how they demonstrated leadership qualities. What are there leadership qualities? How were they influenced by positive or negative leadership. SO someone e-mail me at amber_tara69@hotmail.com and answer my questions for me please.

A compelling tale of one of the best pair skating teams

The story which gives both points of view from Isabelle and Lloyd is heartfelt. Both tell of how they met and how their relationship has grown from over the years from simply a pairs skating ensemble to best friends. "Herbie" and "Freddy", as is their nicknames for each other, have written a book together that will always be named one of my favorites. Honesty is evident in the book, when they tell of their competition days, from Lloyd throwing chairs to more personal trivial tales of Isabelle throwing erasers. They do not hold back with their emotions in the book being brutally honest at times. Included in the book are tales of inside skating pranks and accidents from the days of touring. Personal triumph is also quite evident in the book when Isabelle speaks of the death of her father to Lloyd's transformation from the "bull in the chain shop" to the skater who feels the music, loud and soft. Compelling and captivating

This was a really good and interesting book

This book shows its readers the lives of two of the best pairs skaters ever. Isabelle and Lloyd talk about their lives before skating together and during the most trying times of their careers. There is also a look at what their lives are like off the ice. This book has a small tribute to Sergei Grinkov. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes figure skating or a good autobiography.
